After handing in my mapping project in September I got it back just a month later with positive feedback.

I got invited to the opening night of Lane 7 in Aberdeen - an awesome new bowling place in the center.

I finally went to see Grease with my flatmate and her family - dream come true.

I finished reading 'The Girl Who Saved The King of Sweden' which was one of my favourite books of the year.

Home for Christmas with our lovely big tree (extra bright with LED lights this year).

We flew to Budapest for New Year (I'm hoping I can say it was amazing but I'm writing this post in advance so you'll just have to wait).

This time last year I was facing a scary year - nervous for seven weeks away from my family and boyfriend but I survived and it has been a pretty special year. I've been to Tenerife, Poland and by the time your reading this Budapest too. I've also spent time in Pitlochry, Aviemore, Glasgow, Torridon, Durness and Thurso which is a lot of Scotland in one year. I've done some pretty great things inbetween too. The highlights include going to Nick Nairns Cookery School, the Scottish cup final and handing in my mapping project. I'm spending New Year in Budapest too which is crazy.Arguable 2018 is going to be even more scary and I've no idea what life will be like this time next year. I'll be handing in my dissertation in January (which makes me feel sick) and hopefully graduating in June. I'll stop being a student which will come with big changes (hopefully a good job) and a change of home too when fingers crossed I move into my boyfriends flat. Until then it will be a lot of hard work... I'm going to need some luck!
